Let's start the new year off vibrantly by including physical activity in your family fun. It’s a great way to think positively, burn calories, and improve general coordination.

Now get some good music, round up the kids, and let’s get moving!

Gather your friends and family and stand together in a circle. Pick an open space where everyone can move around easily and make sure you’re an arms length apart. Grab a ball, or any other object that can be tossed. Make one person the leader, and have that person start the game.

Toss the ball across, next to you, or to any player standing in the circle. As each person catches the object, the leader calls out something that individual has to do.

For example:

1. Stand on one leg for 20 seconds.
2. Jump like a frog.
3. Run in place as fast as possible.
4. Do five jumping jacks.
5. Run a lap around the circle.
6. Dance while everyone else in the circle sings a song.
7. Imitate your favorite animal.

Those are just a few of the ways you can get your family going. We bet you can find plenty of other ways to keep the game hopping and the family moving.
